During this year's Spring Festival, peak season for turquoise sales, the business was affected by the coronavirus pandemic. The village was closed, and all cars were forbidden to enter or exit.

To finish the orders on time, Li Yingjun, a Xiaying resident and e-commerce vendor, had to walk a long way to town carrying turquoise on his back before shipment.

"The business was generated from the internet, and the most important part is honesty," he said.

Li carried stones for a month, walking a total of 750 kilometers.
